CREATED FOR:

  • User

You can customize the type of information you display in a list or report by managing the view of the list or report. You can display objects and their attributes in a view. For information about the objects of Adobe Workfront, see Understand objects in Adobe Workfront.

Considerations about views

  • You can customize existing views. All users who can view the views can also see your changes.

  • Your Adobe Workfront administrator must grant you access to edit filters, views, and groupings to be able to create views.

    For information about granting access, see Grant access to filters, views, and groupings.

  • Your level of permissions to a view dictates how a view is saved. If you created the view originally, you can save the changes, otherwise you are prompted to save a version of the view. If you make changes to a view you have shared with others it impacts them as well.

  • You can customize a view that was shared with you only if the user who shared it granted you Manage access. For information about sharing a view, see Share a filter, view, or grouping.

You can customize existing views, create views based on existing views, or create views from scratch.

Types of views in Workfront

The following are types of views that you can apply in lists or reports in Workfront:

Standard view
You can apply it to any list or report of objects. Standard views are highly customizable. You can customize and share a standard view with others. For information see, Create or edit views in Adobe Workfront.
Board view
You can apply the Board view to a list of tasks in the Tasks section of a project or a list of issues in the Issues section of the project to manage your projects using an Agile methodology. For information, see Manage an Agile project in the Board view.
Gantt view
You can apply it to a list of tasks in the Tasks section of a project, a list of projects, or add it to a task or project report. You can customize what information you view in the Gantt view using predefined built-in options. All users with access to view tasks or projects can view them in the Gantt view. For information, see Get started with the Gantt Chart.
Enhanced view
Enhanced views are based on enhanced lists. They are available in some areas of Workfront. These lists use a table format for displaying the list items, and they have a different look and feel than the standard views or lists. The management of views is also enhanced, including filtering, grouping, managing columns, and searching. For information, see Use enhanced lists

Share a view

You can share the elements of a standard view.

For information about how to share a standard view, see Share a filter, view, or grouping.

You cannot share Gantt and Board views. Everyone with access to the areas where these views display can view the same information.

Remove a view

The ability to remove a view functions differently depending on whether you initially created the view, or the view was shared with you. You cannot remove a default view.

You cannot remove Gantt or Board views.

For more information about removing a standard view, see Remove filters, views, and groupings.
